Nalwort Womens Menstrual Period Panties Cotton Leak Proof Underwear Postpartum Protective Briefs

Please read entire review if you read any of it. I want to start with first saying that anyone denying that these are good quality is most likely not taking proper care of them. With reusable diapers and panties you must follow a proper wash and care routine to keep them absorbent. (Gently) hand wash cold, mild soap or many rinses, and NEVER ANY FABRIC SOFTENER. fabric softener makes things less absorbent (ie. “liquid beading off.”) a regular washer can and would rip the inner PUL/ liquid retention layer making them leak the next time you use them. Then FOLD to squeegee not wring. Wringing will rip the PUL. Once no longer dripping air dry. I drape mine inside out with crotch up over the shower bar or drying rack. Okay. Now for a review on these puppies. These are so fantastic i bought 2 packs, then 2 more, and I’m about to buy two more. Why so many? I bloat some times but not all times so got enough for the time of my menstrual cycle in Medium and Large. Im losing weight and will need smalls soon but can just alter the larges when that time comes. I also am lazy and dont like standing at the sink hand washing while on my period so i leave them in a bucket of water, agitating slightly and changing the water every day until it is done and then wash them all at once. These are leakproof. They only ever leak when they overflow. I change them about every 3-4 hours on a regular day, maybe every 2 on a heavy day at the beginning. I wear them without a liner. I have an issue with the front and back getting stains before it leaks out the bottom when i wear disposable pads so i always got the extra long pads making things even more bulky but the absorbent layers in these panties covers all of that well enough i can ditch the pads in exchange for changing my panties every couple of hours. It is soooo worth it. They stretch really really well. A large would fit bigger and smaller and the same for every size. I feel if you size what you are normally you will be more than pleased with the give in both directions. I have abdomen pressure issues from endometriosis, GERD, and IBS so even though they are very stretchy its too much for my sensitive self so thats why i got the two sizes but if i was average and undamaged i would have stuck with the mediums only. I got ALL shrimp color because i only wear white, gray, and earth tones and the color couldn't be better. They look like the pics to a tee. They are quite soft though only as soft as their materials allow. Upon drying they can feel stiff but thats how air drying works, they feel pretty soft after folding and putting in the drawer. I have posted pics with the background blacked out because I have very identifiable tattoos. I have also post a picture of a black pair i had received from another brand that i returned. I purchased 5 different brands including thinx and returned all but these. I am sharing a pic from one of the other brands as comparison for how thick they are/feel. Many people have posted saying period panties can feel like a diaper. Im here to say these dont. If you think they feel like a diaper you probably should stay away from period panties altogether. These have as little diaper feeling as period panties can get with 3 layers of material around the crotch as all period panties will have. Inner layer, PUL layer, outer layer. These have cotton which i prefer as it helps keep yeast infections at bay which should feel slightly thicker however if you care to check from the black pair of a different brand (white background) it appears (and felt) much thicker. The fit wasn’t as good because they weren't as stretchy, they didnt breathe as well, and felt more diaper-y. I can tell just by looking but its my body so I'm not sure if its visible from someone unbiased. Im clearly not great at editing i dont have photoshop or anything and i wasn’t paid for this review. I have given them my money for these and I’m going to do it again. They stop just below the belly button. And the cheeks are a little bigger but I prefer the slight wedge for absorption help as i fit into them. That will make sense to those that also need it. However it’s the only thing that I believe anyone could logically complain about but wouldn’t even notice unless they have a very flat to nonexistent butt.

Listen with everything going on with tampons I saw it as important to write a review. These are fantastic! If you have a med to light flow. I don't use a pad with these at all and I have never had a bleed through. If I have a light flow I wear them all day change before bed and change in the morning. If I have a medium flow then I may have to change one more time mid day. Cleaning is a little of a pain to ensure you don't destroy the pad. **update below you can wash only gentle** I followed the instructions of another reviewer in the comments and hand wash only with detergent in the tub and don't wring then out. Some say they run small so I got a 3x as I normally wear XXL to XL in underwear and they fit fantastically. They are the right amount of loose to be comfortable yet not to loose that the blood would leak out. If you are a heavy bleeder I don't think you would get away with wearing these and I would instead get your underwear from the namebrand thinx and get the one specifically for heavy flow. **update these work for my heavy flow just change more often.** As for pee leakage I can't give much info other than the few times I have sneezed and leaked they held up no leakage. So do with that what you will. I bought 2 packs and that gets me through a whole cycle but I will be buying one more for my med flow cycles as I almost ran short last time. **Update** I have started washing them on gentle cycle and drying on low heat and they have held up. This has made these even more perfect than they already are. Also I have had a few heavier than normal flow cycles and they still held up and I only needed to change them as much as I do for med flow still no leaks.

these are so comfortable!! i’m 5’5.5”/215lbs for reference. the leg opening is a skosh tight but nothing too bad and it didn’t make me want to take them off. i have endometriosis and really bad period cramps to the point of not wanting underwear touching my belly at all cause it pushes on it, the way the band is on these were perfect for that and didn’t push on it at ALL!! i don’t know about absorption as i always wore them with a pad/pantyliner and of course the period i wore them for was the first period where no blood whatsoever got on my underwear for the first time in like five years but they did make me feel extra protected at work and bedtime. i also washed them in cold water without fabric softener so it didn’t ruin the absorbency.

This is a decent brand and I've purchased a couple of different products from them. In addition to this pack, I have the black six-pack here as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B1CF14K/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=AANSHJNM141VM&psc=1. I purchased those about a year ago, and upon opening the new ones I can see they're thinner and will likely be less absorbent. I wanted to purchase these because of the waistband, the waistband is thick and lays smooth on my hips without digging in. Not the most flattering cut, but they're really comfortable. As far as care goes, I'm planning on caring for these much like the other ones. I spot wash the blood out by hand with cool water, treat them with hydrogen peroxide to soak out the stains, then either handwash in woolite or more often, I put them in the wash on cold and very gentle cycle. After that I hang dry, but have occasionally tumble dried them on low either by accident or in a pinch, and they still seem to work fine. I think you should take care of these, but within reason; cleaning these can't take up too much of my life or I feel it defeats the purpose of convenience. I change them frequently (every couple hours) or wear pads with them on the heaviest days. Otherwise they seem to work. Period undies are a great investment, good for the environment and for your body. Once you realize how to use them and what works best for you, I guarantee you'll love them and not want to go back.

I ordered this and I’m not unhappy with them, but I don’t find them to be a 5 star product. Pros: Soft, fits hips / cut is comfortable and they seem to be doing their job, as I bought to help with pregnancy symptoms. I wouldn’t say they’d be super suitable for a heavy flow Cons: I sized up to an XL (5’2 OG 150lbs— 175 pregnancy) and they are still rather small and tight around the but and inner legs. They slightly cut at the thigh crease. Overall, I find these rather average and matches about a $10 quality. I think the quality could be improved, but they do the job for my pregnancy symptoms.

I have searched for AND purchased a few period panties and most are NOT for larger women (like they advertise). I don't understand why they can't get the sizing right. If you say it fits a certain size then it should fit, right? Wrong! Larger women - If you are shopping for period panties then you need to keep in mind if you are going to be on a treasure hunt. I just pray I don't gain any weight! Anyway, I really love these panties! I have worn them for a few days and LOVE THEM! I am bleeding light and can wear them overnight with my cup and not worry about destroying my clothes or bed sheets... I have been bleeding for a few weeks now and I am not raw anymore. LOVE THEM! I didn't even know about the different period products until I came across a video about them. (see ItsJustKelli videos as they are so informative- love her!) Why don't our gynecologists tell us about them? They will go over cycles, pregnancy protection, and our boobie checks, but why didn't I know about other options on how to deal with our monthly cycles!? I am in my 50s and no one has EVER talked to me about this! Anyway, I am finally comfortable and protected from the spotting and accidents that ALWAY happens. I bought these just in time because for some reason I have been bleeding and spotting for 3 weeks and I can't be more comfortable. I went to work one day thinking I was just going to be spotting but had a moment when my body said otherwise. Anyway, I was protected from the surprise and made it home without a hitch! All I did was wipe my panty out with toilet paper (not that I really had to) and not even have to concern myself with anything else. To clean them I just place them in cold water with oxi-clean and let them soak or just go ahead and scrub them. I hang dry them. Easy Peasy... When I am ready to launder them, I can throw them into the dryer, but keep in mind not all period panties can go into the dryer. I would purchase these again in a minute! No problem! Any they are truly worth the money. They are really comfortable.

I would show pics of my tan leather seat and my blood soaked jeans, but my review would probably be denied. I started while I on a trip to go see my in-laws, thought I had picked enough of the other period underwear I bought that I now love even more. I bought this brand thinking that they would be as good as the other brand I bought and I was wrong. I had some light leakage over night while sleeping at the hotel, so that was fun and a bit embarrassing to ask for fresh sheets. Then when it was time to get on the road, I had already been been wearing a pair for 2 hours and already felt like I was leaking. I went into the bathroom before we got on the road and had to not only change, but clean up all the blood on the insides of my thighs. It felt and looked like I had just been wearing regular underwear, not these that are supposed to be made specifically for heavy bleeders, which I am one, but also being on blood thinners for the rest of life, it makes my periods a bit heavier. Not even 2 hours into a road trip home, not only was I leaking, but my pants were already bloody, and at this point the blood is all over my tan leather seat. This is truly the most embarrassing experience I have had, especially in front of my husband, who is now cleaning up my seat, while I’m in the gas station bathroom writing this after having to change and clean myself up from. I am very disappointed and refuse to recommend Nalwort period underwear to anyone. Unfortunately, there is no way to return them for false advertisement and get my money back.

I’m writing this review after using these 7+ days per month over the course of 8 months. I’m 48 & have spent 36 of those years having monstrous periods & spending a small fortune on menstrual products. Last year I got an IUD which lightened my periods, but made them initially unpredictable. I bought these because I was living in constant period anxiety. Also I’m just really tired of dealing with periods. My observations: I wear size 20/22 pants & these work for me in 3x. I have never leaked out of them. They aren’t as breathable as cotton, but they don’t feel like plastic either. The fabric is t shirt soft but water proof. I’ve had a couple of pairs go through the dryer & it did not destroy them. After a few months, the black fabric of the crotch bleached out a bit, but other than that, they still look / feel new. I wash cold & hang them dry. If they get too wet you can blot them dry-ish & buy yourself some time. They look like pretty basic underwear. They do great at night although I used pads with them the first few nights to make sure. They’re comfortable underwear with a nice supportive stretch. I love these because they are the only effortless, completely unobtrusive period product I’ve ever used. There’s no learning curve. If you know how to put on underwear, you’re set. Five stars.

True to size

I’m an older person who has a weak bladder, these are perfect for when I sneeze or cough and have a small amount of pee escape me. Very comfortable and arrived quicker than I thought they would.

Amé esta prenda. Las volvería a comprar sin dudarlo. Soy de flujo super abundante. A veces tengo que cambiarme de braga dos veces el primer día. Pero normalmente resisten muy bien todo el día y noche. Son cómodas, no se marcan.

GOOD Quality

I ordered a "large". I am 5'4", 140 lbs and the large was too tight to be comfortable.
